Remember the name Sherry Davis. Described as one of the best kept secrets on London’s underground live circuit, this UK songstress has the flair of a veteran and the originality that today’s soul music needs. Sherry’s new single, Ain’t That Love, is the first from her forthcoming EP and it shows why she has built quite a following. I’ll admit that I were in London, I’d gladly pay for a ticket to see her perform.

Ain’t That Love was produced by Omar and Sherry is working with several more big names including Steve Chrisanthou, John Beck, Bluey Maunick, Tim Hutton, and Gregg Pagani. While we wait on the release of Sherry’s EP, check out the video for Ain’t That Love and follow her at the links below.

Are you ready for yet another Brit soul singer? When that singer sounds as good as Sherry Davis, of course you are. Ms. Davis is a South East London native whose debut single, "Ain't That Love," is serving up an old school R&B soul that is sure to put a smile on your face. Produced by SB fave (and fantastic artist in his own right) Omar Lye Fook, the song wafts in like a welcome summer breeze as Sherry and Omar harmonize on the intro. The song then switches from sweet and airy to the funky and bold chorus. It's a great fit for the up-and-comer who's managed to net a few big names as collaborators (aside from Omar, she's worked with producers for artists like Corrine Bailey Rae,Incognito and Charlie Wilson). "Ain't That Love" will be available as a free download starting next month. Until then, you can check out Sherry in the simple black-and-white video which features Sherry performing with her band (of which Omar is apart). Quite honestly, like her name, the entire thing is all pretty intoxicating. So sit back, relax and enjoy some of the finest Sherry that the UK has to offer.

ABOUT SHERRY DAVIS
Want to know why some of the most respected names in UK soul are throwing their support behind impressive new vocalist and songwriter Sherry Davis? Her debut single, the Omar-produced Ain’t That Love provides a first part of the answer: the self-penned tune is not only the most haunting song you’ll hear all summer, but it also introduces the wider public to one of the best kept secrets of London’s underground live circuit. Sherry Davis is a songstress of rare quality and unmistakable character – the kind you don’t forget, once encountered.
You’re about to hear a lot more of her. Sherry is already hard at work on her first EP, collaborating not only with said soul don Omar, but with several other top writer/producers on the soul music scene. So far the list includes Steve Chrisanthou and John Beck, the Grammy nominated production duo behind Corrine Bailey Rae, Incognito leader Bluey Maunick, hit songwriter Tim Hutton (Prodigy, Groove Armada) and LA based hit making producer Gregg Pagani (Charlie Wilson, LeAnn Rimes). The truly arresting thing about Sherry Davis is that she hasn’t sought to cop any of the major pop/R&B/soul divas for style. She freely admits to being a massive Mariah Carey fan… but that’s as deep as the link goes. Her mum’s played her a lot of Diana Ross over the years too, for that matter. And you can detect some gospel roots anchoring nearly everything that Sherry does. Yet this is unquestionably about a long-term career in the making, not the dreams of the latest X Factor wannabe. You’ll notice, maybe, touches of Niecy Williams’ mid-range in there somewhere, perhaps a little of Syreeta Wright’s vulnerability, and possibly a touch of Alicia Keys’ sass. In the end the Sherry Davis sound is all her own.

How would you describe your sound and who influences you? My sound...one day I'll think of a gorgeous phrase to sum this up, for now I would say bohemian soul. A retro soul vibe with blues influences.

Who influences me? I love the powerhouse vocals of Mariah and Whitney, the grit and drama of Michael Jackson and Tina Turner, the loveliness of Jill Scott, Diana Ross and Corrine Bailey Rae, the soulfulness of Stevie Wonder and D'Angelo. I have a whole range of influences...one of the modern artists I'm into right now are Frank Ocean (I am obsessed)! I just love how his lyrics paint a picture of what he's seeing. Everything he does is so matter-of-fact and it's refreshing. But in my heart of hearts I am into old school soul.

Craig Charles or Ray Charles? Both!

What's your favourte venue played so far? My favourite venues to play in so far are the Jazz Cafe, because of the gorgeous Steinway grand piano and the prestige of it, and my fave intimate venue is Freedom in Soho. The engineer Jimmy is a magician with the sound and there's so much love and warmth in that place.

Complete the following: This time next year ....
This time next year I will still be doing what I love - Music! And eating chicken wings

John Travolta or John Meyer? John Travolta

What's up next for you?
Aint That Love is due for a free download in July, after that I will be working on my EP and planning nationwide tour of Caffe Nero.

Georgie Fame, Georgie Best or Geordie Shore? Geordie Shore because I wanna collect the fake eyelashes of the female cast and furnish the bald people of the world with hair. Aint gonna lie, Geordie Shore is my guilty pleasure (don't tell no-one)!

The Wrap Up
To wrap up I just wanna say thanks to everyone who is supporting Aint That Love. And thanks Midnyte Hour : ) Peace x

Talented simply does not sum up the UK's hottest new soul singer Sherry Davis. Here at showoffyourmusic we got the chance to catch up with the songstress. This young lady is set to take the music world by storm with her brand new single "Aint that love". Soooooo to get to know Sherry Davis a little bit more check out this interview.

1) Hi sherry, Your vocals are amazing, how long have you been singing?Thank you! I started singing in my teens, growing up in the church. It was a good experience to grow as a singer and performer there, because it's not about the outward performance, it's about singing from the heart, and aiming to stir people's emotions. From there I went into a solo career doing soul music, which is a lot of fun : )

2) Can you describe yourself as an artist?I'm a singer/songwriter/pianist hailing from South East London! Peckham if you want specifics!

3) Can you describe your sound?Soulful. It's hard to categorise the type of soul because my influences go beyond soul. I also love classical music, funk, rock...and when I'm in the studio I always try to fuse the different genres. A lot of artists don't enjoy defining their sound, I don't mind but I honestly find it hard to describe! I guess you could call it bohemian soul. Or just listen and make up your own mind, I guess. Aint That Love is very much old school, cinematic soul.

4) Its hard to compare you to anyone which shows your originality, who are your influences?I have loads! My vocal influences are Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Yolanda Adams, Michael Jackson...in terms of writing and production I would say my influences are more down the 70's retro route, Stevie Wonder, Joe Cocker, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner...I could really bore you.. I also like modern artists with retro roots, Amy Winehouse, Nikka Costa, Joss Stone and Corrine Bailey Rae.

5) If you had to be any other artist who would it be and why?Oh this is hard. I would be a 70's Diana Ross because she's fabulous and reminds me of my mum!

6) Would you ever audition for the Voice or Xfactor?Nope! I'm signed so I can't anyway. I know of some people that recently did The Voice, Jaz Ellington and Ruth Brown and was very proud to see them get so far. They were flying the flag for black soul artists, it was fantastic! It takes a lot of nerve to get up in front of judges and cameras and the general public, and no matter how good you think you are, it could go either way. I know great singers who have auditioned for these shows and got slated, and it's damaging. If a judge slates you, then loads of people in the public will jump on twitter and get on the hater bandwagon. It's a risk. At this point I don't think I'd like to do something like that. It's more like a popularity contest. But I wouldn't discourage anyone because if you do well, it can be life changing.

7) Your debut single, "Aint that love" is very smooth and sophisticated, is this the main theme for future material?Thanks! I was very lucky to get Omar on the production for this tune. I adore his sound and I've been a fan since I was a kid. He's a really down to earth guy and uber talented. The music I'm working on now is a slight departure from the classic soul sound of Aint That Love, which I recorded a year ago. There's more of a 70's retro feel going on. I'm working with a load of fab producers, Tim Hutton, who wrote Omen for Prodigy, Steve Chrisanthou and John Beck who did Corrine Bailey Rae's stuff, All About She who work with Tinie Tempah, so I would say my new stuff contains more grit and drama. My life has changed so much over the past year, and this reflects in my new material. I'm working on my EP which is due for release in a few months.

8) Can you finish of the sentence?.If you like..............you will love my new singleIf you like music from the soul you will love my new single!

9) Tell me something your fans don't yet know about you.I'm a mad scientist in the kitchen! I'll read recipes on the net and just improvise. This american site I went to today suggested using beer for fried chicken batter. The closest thing I had to beer was wray and nephew rum, so I splashed that in, did a triple dip batter, fried the chicken, then made hot sauce with Econa and balsamic glaze and honey. It was goooood : )
